![[ BL ] Shang Xirui & Cheng Fengtai - sacrificed love (Winter begonia)](/img/n.gif)
I want to add my spin on your theory about the title. I loved your idea about that since Shang Xirui is a man playing a woman he does not have a flower in his hair. I think a running theme in winter begonia is “life or opera.” When Commander Cao asks Xirui if he would choose life or opera, Xirui chooses opera. However, when Cheng Fengtai asks Xirui the same question at the end, we do not get an answer. The ending scene can be interpreted in many ways, but the flashbacks all somehow relate to Xirui’s life outside of opera. I think Cheng Fengtai showed Shang Xirui that life outside of opera can be quite interesting, that true friendship exists, and that his life is worth more than he values it at (the scene where they drink after Xirui looses his hearing, Fengtai says that nothing is more important than Xirui’s life, not even opera). So, I think the title also represents Shang Xirui’s life outside of the opera and the value that he holds as a person as these are the times when Xirui wears simple clothes and no flowers or other accessories. So to sum up, whether you think Xirui chooses life or chooses opera, in the end, there can be no doubt that he values his life “without a red flower” more than he once did.
Oooh, this is quite a good theory.
i wanna cry even more now thanks
😭😭😭😭
I love your theory, I think it explains my theory on the meaning of the title. "The Temple Sides are not Begonia Red", I think begonia red refers to the eyes make-up that go up to the temple sides for opera performances, not the flower. When I thought about the title, I couldn't make sense of it. Your theory does it for me.
Lidya Angelia Actually, now that I think about it, it makes more sense to say that begonia refers to the color of the makeup instead of the actual flower, and this theory can accommodate the change. So basically, if there is no makeup, there is life outside of opera. :-)
The opera performer in the bilibili link is actually the actor who acted as the young ning jiu lang. I think he was also expert consultant on opera for the drama. I saw him several times in the drama behind the scenes.
I think he's also the double for the opera performances. I think I could recognize him doing the feather dance from the upper shot. He probably did the fairy foot dance too
Finally, finally, I get a very logical and beautiful explanation of the title! Great video as always! Thank you!
Thank you for this BO references video. It is so interesting to learn. Watching bilibili BO teacher is wonderful. Thank you for the links. Thank you, Happy Saturday !!!
谢谢，练听力的同时学到了很多京剧艺术的知识。
haha， 还有这种复合功能
I was interested in this, but I was still surprised how much I got pulled into your explanations and descriptions.... Thank you.
wow! what a fascinating and interesting explanation of Beijing Opera that you have shared with us! Thank you so much! My encounter with Operas, was in my teenage years in the 60s when my mom and I would go watch the street Operas, mostly in the dialect of zhou chou (Teochew), without understanding much of the plot but I was mesmerised by the costumes and the performance and singing! My mom would tell me the story and plot that was mostly based on the history of ancient China. I remembered having been to see one very famous troupe that came from HongKong to perform and the audience did throw money up on to the stage like what you said!! Those were the good old days of Opera in my birth country but now sadly do not exist anymore! Looking forward to listening to the Part 2!
I love how u explained the dances,operas and information that I didnt even knew thank u!😊💜
Thank you! 💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖
感谢，请继续，求求您。Thank you so much for your explanation, even my Chinese 朋友 couldn't explain the title for me, and I had a feeling that is quite important for understanding the drama. Thanks God we are so lucky to have YOU!
I've just submitted Vietnamese subtitle for this video, as I want to share it in a vietnamese fangroup of winter begonia. I hope you'll accept it. Thank you for giving us more insight. :)
Thank you for taking the time! I love to get the cultural background of the drama I watch ❤️❤️❤️🌹 please take care
This adds so much to my understanding of the drama. Thank you!
Omg! Thank you so much for this video. I've been looking for an explanation of the title. And I love the way you explained those things about Beijing opera. It helped me so much to understand while enjoying the drama.🥰☺
Thank you very much for making this video😊! With your explanation I now have better understanding and appreciation of Beijing opera and the works that were played out in the drama. ❤️
Your information is really helpful esp. for people who do not have a good grasp of the Chinese language (yet).🙂
Wow, thank you so much for explaining all these details, it adds a lot to the experience! And also thank you for always including characters with pinyin, so useful for Chinese learners!
YES! Finally an explanation of the title and plays!
thanks a lot for doing this! ill be watching it while doing my school work!
Tks for the explanation, just watching n enjoying Winter Begonia. Great drama n acting👍
Thank you for the hard work, I learned a lot🥰 and nice touch with what you’ve done to your hair👍 I think I had heard about the third kind of hairstyle because of watching Taiwanese opera with my grandmother during my childhood 😊
Thank you so much for this video. It is so informative. Looking forward the 2nd part.
I really like this series but have not finished watching it yet for fear of possible tragic storyline after the Japanese occupation. It is so well crafted and meticulous.
Very detailed and elaborated explanation.
that's a really good explanation of reference for the title. I feel like it carries about of double meaning about the SXR and parts of the plot too
Thank you so much for all the time you spent for making this video. It is so interesting what you told us, and you have such a way in explaining all the references in the drama!
Thanks for all the effort you must have put into this video!I enjoyed it and look forward to the next one.It helps to understand whats going on,even tho the sounds,costumes,and dancing are enough on their own.You continue to amaze me! When I first watched one of your lecture-type videos,I thought that you had written it out previously and either were using notes or had memorized it.I now suspect that you study the material and then give a great lecture extemporaneously.I also suspect that you have a photographic memory,which combined with your exceptional reasoning ability,makes for a powerful combination.I do not ever want to get in an argument with you! Make l;ove not war!
O-M-G I Didnt see thé time passing while whatching your vidéo ! Thank You very much for all the explanations ! Really Nice from You ! Nice job !
Winter Begonia thought us lot of things. 👏👏👏 I'm only familiar with the drunken concubine before, but now.. there's so many operas added to the list.
Thank you!!! I really wanted to know about this. You provide so much information I learn a lot and appreciate it. Looking forward for the 2nd part. 😍🎶
Wow, very educational. Thanks. I just started watching and am now at episode 5 so you video is timely for me. Look forward to part 2 soon. Thanks for making this video.
I was waiting for this 😆😆😆😆
辛苦了， 非常详细，非常喜欢你的讲解！谢谢！！
Thank you for your work.
Thank you for making this!
wow, you're soooo good!!! Thanks so much for a really informative video!~
I haven’t finished the series yet, (little less than half way) and definitely don’t know much about Peking Opera, but what the title and reference sounds like to me is, Shang Xi Rui is similar to the hostess in that someone more powerful is telling them how to be, but they refuse to be goaded or owned by someone with more power. They know who they are, what they want, and their own convictions, they will not be simply pretty for someone else. So no, Shang Xi Rui will not put the flower in his hair.
谢谢你❤️
looking forward to the second video!
Absolutely Amazing! 💯👍👍👍👍
thank you......
Thank you so much for this! ❤️

I love your kaito kid shirt
The story reminds me of "Farewell My Concubine".
Thank you that was great
Yeeeees I clicked so fast XD
Golden Years same
Lol I did too!
May I ask a question?...may be loosely related to the topic of opera...
In "killer and healer" and in "hot blooded youth" ther is a powerful man "holding" an opera singer as "guest"...almost against his will...
Is this a literary topos?
Thank you....your explanation are amzing and you are so knowledgeable!
Yessss!! Thank you!
